Sure, but is Canada accepting all those so called asylum seekers from the US who are trying to escape Trump’s dragnet? Trudeau threw open our borders with his globalist and woke agenda and screwed the immigration system

Not sure why this isn’t country wide. I came to Canada as a legal immigrant 40 years ago worked and paid taxes my whole life. Pains me when I see fake refugee claimants getting free dental while I pay through the nose. And many such injustices. Many fake refugees claimants say they are gay when they are not claim life threatened at home country but as soon as get documents run home for a visit…lThis government needs to stop making us hardworking folks pay for these abusers cause they want to be so called politically correct. I remember when Trudeau told all the migrants Trump wouldn’t tolerate to come to Canada. What a plonker.

Really why are we not asking Poland, Argentina and USA how they reclaimed their country, Trudeau and WEF, end of story...do we analyse how the house caught fire, in the house while it burns us to death, or do we get out and call the successful fire dept, like Argentina, Trump and Poland. So tired of asking why, isn't it obvious

Thank you president Trudeau for calling Poetin a lying murderer what he is. And for striking back to Trump and not appeasing him like the coward Republicans do. Thank you for joining the ‘meeting of the willing’ in the UK. Love from your friends in the Netherlands. You are truly a great leader. ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This so called stand up guy that’s done as PM in 3 days pledged another 5 billion to Ukraine and announced a 120 billion light rail train in the past 3 weeks and is putting the 4th carbon tax on us April 1 so this speech to me is obsurd - Danielle smith went right to trump and got oil reduced to 10% shoulda follow her lead Trudeau

Trudeau should call Trump, it's set so high at 25 to make some sort of deal. I get the impression that Trump would like Canada to set up some shops in the US and get some benefits to help build the shops. When a new tariff is put in place, you have to call Trump to remove the tariff like last time.

Wow, Trudeau called the president Trump by his first name and then called him dummy. What a leader Trudeau is, a real model for the rest of the world. He is so brave and courageous. Uhhhh.. actually he is a -wether- and he is just too stupid and blind to know it.

Contrast this speech with what trump responds with. Insults the PM of Canada. By calling him governer Trudeau. Completely insulting and childish but what do you expect?. I just wish the rest of the worlds statesman started insulting trump the same way. A man child coward with the intelligence of a amoebe

while trudea claims to care about the drug smuggling to americans who does trudeau think these tarriffs will affect the hardest\nthe drug addicted poor of course\nthey will suffer the most\nso trump and trudeau are combining efforts to cause more grevious harm to people with problems in this case drug problems\nits american cia that supplies these drugs to americans along with the dea and local police forces\nthe supplier of drugs can not also be expected to stop the flow of drugs to americans this is the real reason america is so devestated by illegal drugs\namerica is truly at war with america\nnow trump is in direct war against the american poor\nto increase their pain\nits a christian sadistic its sadism christian style\nthey call it tough love\nthats idiocracy\nits full blown sadism

Call Trump a dictator Trudeau then you’ll earn Canadian respect

Sorry. Trudeau lied. He called Trump “smart”. He’s the stupidest person I’ve ever seen. An absolute moronic buffoon.

trudeau suggesting his meeting with the king is out of context with modern reality\na shared interest in historical ties with england\nwe all know england has a very dark past of savagery and inhumanity and of course religious intolerance\ninhumanity on an unbelievable scale\ntrump would be honered to have participated in englands past\ntrudeau should chose his words more carefully\nits not possible to make a case for humanity whilst including a very dark relationship with jolly old england whom by the way is stuck in its gory past\nthese tariffs will not effect those who are imposing them mostly they will affect those already struggling\nso again trudeau is not really making a good case for humanity\nin fact it looks more like a willful and willing game of tit for tat with trump\nwhile the only injured will be the poor\nit looks more like trudeau is in partnership with trump and putin aligned against the poor\nhow can any one call this good diplomatic strategy while the politicians stay high and dry\nwhile the poor are left damp in spirit\ntrudeau is no political genuis unless his real pact is with trump albeit still no genuis simply a coconspirator against the turf by the aristocracy which of course england by all means claims for itself with its castle slash dungeonary past\nthe cries of many still ring out across the green rolling hills of england even after a thousand years\ntyrants they are\nengland shall never escape its past

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

This isn’t about fentanyl this is Diaper Don holding grudge against Juston Trudeau. He hates anyone that threatens him when it comes to power. Trump has been in bed with Russia since he was a young man. He is a Russian sympathizer and always has been. I am sure his father Fred was too. Why else has not one Trump ever served our country in war time and peacetime. He call veterans suckers and losers He is a traitor to our country and selling out our country out. Time to stop the carnage he is inflicting on this great nation by having him removed by any way our military can take him out. Otherwise Putin and Trump together will destroy our nation along with other great nations due to their thirst for power, land, and riches.

As a Canadian I don't like PM Trudeau but he is bang on about tariffs harming everyone and this speech here is fire ? This is going to end badly for Trump just like it did in his first presidency because it will hurt American's economically, and eventually they will push back against Trump. Love that he calls him Donald, not president Trump...LOL.

good for Justin Trudeau for calling out Trump's lies. He is using any bullshit excuse that gives him power to decide things on his own.

It would have been better to call the move “ill-advised”. Referring to POTUS by first name and saying it was “dumb” is just going to provoke DJT who everyone, fans and critics alike, knows is vain and does not have the humility to accept insults. It’s Trudeau breaking shtuff on his way out. He doesn’t have the mandate to put us in a worse position; he is being selfish, I think, in taking an unnecessary low-brow jab. Calling it ill-advised or similar gives Trump an out, to pass the buck to Lutnik when it becomes apparent that this tariff idea is a steaming pile for everyone involved.

Trudeau is hated by Canadians. He is no hero. These tariffs make Trump look stupid. Isn't that what Trudeau was saying by calling it a dumb thing to do? It is time for Trudeau to actually resign and leave politics for good.

Great speech J. Trudeau! Don’t allow Trump to call you Governor

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.

Stay honest and true in every way you can. Character really is destiny. I love my country but we are under siege by our own government, a group of sycophantic grifters who do not possess the wisdom, experience nor the disciplined intelligence to fulfill the duties their positions require. I stand with Canada and admire Mr. Trudeau for being willing to call out Donald Trump and address us Americans directly. Yes, we will all pay for this stupidity—except of course the MAGA elite.

The MAGA’s probably think Trudeau is a pu$$y for speaking coherently and with class and professionalism. Thanks Trump, don’t worry your loyal middle and lower class servants will foot the bill for you and call it greatness.

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

AS A CANADIAN I HOPE TRUMP RAISES THE TARRIFS TO 70% ON CANADA UNTIL TRUDEAU A DICTATOR THAT REFUSES TO CALL AN ELECTION AND GOES AWAY 2:02

The close relationship between the US and Canada has ended. We have to do more than stop buying alcohol, much much more. This was never about fentenal Trump just wants to take over our country. He wants to be another Putin and yes he called him Donald, just like Trump called him in a demeaning way as Justin or Governor Trudeau. Payback is a bitch

Trump did this because Melania called Trudeau cute. Damn Donald c’mon man ?

Trudeau could just called Trump if he wanted to speak directly.

Trump wants peace between Russia and Ukraine and Trudeau calls him a fan of Putin. ? Does he know how dipomasy works?! Apparently not.

I know a lot of people don't care for Trudeau. I am actually pretty impressed with him, and on his way out, he is showing his strength and intelligence. He has Canada's back even in his last days as Prime Minister. Let's make sure we elect a Prime Minister who is equally strong and can stand up the narcissistic bully called Trump.

If anyone thinks trump is a joke and he doesn’t know what he’s doing just look at how desperate Trudeau was calling for you to rise up. Never mentioned his own and the reprocutions this will have on his own ppl. We don’t want a world order. Wake up.

last time he did it everyone complained but biden kept the tariffs and nobody complained signaling to trump that he was right, the real trick is to call it a trade war then they can both raise taxes on their citizens which is exactly what trudeau just did whilst making it look like he's st george off to fight dragons

What do you call when Justin Trudeau sucks up to Gigi ping worst dictator than Putin but all you hear these clowns crying about is Trump trump Trump trump Russia Russia Russia Trump Trump trump Trump trump Russia Russia Russia Trump trump Trump trump Trump trump Russia Russia

Trudeau calling Trump by his first name, Donald.

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau, very clear precise without name calling and shouting but this is exactly how intelligent leadership respond. My only correction would be to your statement that trump is a smart man; no sir but I understand the need not to obliterate him.

He called DONALD, this Prime Minister an intelligent adult by not calling TRUMP which is Donald Father which is a good guy himself and not STUPID, CHILDISH and bow to DICTATOR Putin. Salute You PM Trudeau

Canadians, don't want it, you want that tray war because top your news Trudeau. In Ukraine, we're raping us Canadians. What do carbon tax instead? You should work with Trump and tried to make deals. Didn't you go behind his back and pop your nose? Enter Ukraine and then called Putin. Bad Putin isn't bad. I think who is bad is Trudel. That is a dictator and we know that because his dad was El. Truro. You self are a dictator also, because when you would work with Canadians and leave your news out of Ukraine, then work with Trump. We wouldn't have this, but Trump sees you pop your news into Ukraine. Will your news not belong? That's why Trump? It's punishing us the soul. You stop you gonna poke your nose in Ukraine? You gonna pay for it, are we Canadians? Gonna pay for that.

Trump simply asked to stop the illegals and fentenal coming to our country threw yours!! He asked you and you said you would, the same as mexico. Apparently your operations are not working for one reason or another! HONOR YOUR COMMITMENT! Mr. Trudeau simply call president Trump and discuss the numbers and come up.with a new idea on how to stop this agreed upon situation! Montana Rick.

As an American I think I’m right to say most of us are on Canadas side. Glad to finally see a great leader like Trudeau call Trump “dumb “!

calling trump 'smart' reflects how dumb trudeau is.....

There is no reason for Trudeau to be even as polite as he was (Trump is, in fact, dumb), considering that Trump continually calls the Prime Minister “Governor Trudeau” as a taunt, meaning that in Trump’s mind, Canada is already a state of the USA, not a sovereign nation.

The fact Trump keeps referring to Trudeau as Governor already shows Trumps disregard for Canada…imagine call Trump Governor Trump???!!!

Mélanie barely keeping it together as Trudeau calls Trump by his given name = Priceless!

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

The only thing Trudeau got wrong was calling Trump smart, I mean come on, that should have been a doozy!

Did Trudeau just call Trump a very smart guy? ??

Trudeau!! What are you doing??? You are NOT the PM of Canada any more! You call Trump a dictator at the expense of Canadians??? You are increasing the tariffs FOR Canadians?? How idiotic!!!! Get OFF!!!!!

How refreshing to listen to an intelligent leader! i only take issue with him calling Trump a smart guy. Trump will never do anything but ridicule and insult Trudeau and Canada no matter what concessions Canada makes. The great thing is that Trump never had any kind of plan except to tariff the hell out of our former allies. Canada is very systematic about their tariffs against US. They are using a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer. Very smart against very stupid, childish, and undisciplined.

I am not a Trump supporter of Trump and di not vote for him. However, I have point blank question to PM Trudeau. Why Canada is reluctant to call Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu? This is called double standard.
